We are coming to the exciting time now with the trip fast approaching so I thought I would reminisce with some highlights from last years trip.

Symon

I still have nightmares about that !! Waking up thinking a tsunami is about to hit.

Poor Bert had no radio and did not know when he was going to be shot across. The look on his face just as it took off.

Priceless  ;D

Mark  great photos and brings back good memories. Heard that the Development Road is closed for easter North of Laura due to wet season damage. Have you heard how wet it was further up along the OTL?
